YOUR JOURNEY AFTER THE BABY

Did you know, your body is STILL changing from month 1, all the way to month 12 of being postpartum. Yep, a whole year. Luckily for you, we’ve wrote it all out so you know what to expect:

 

0-6 weeks postpartum

 

• Your uterus shrinks back to normal size
• Your belly will look like 5 months pregnant after having baby
• Boobs change up to 2 cup sizes over night when milk comes in (Not even mad!)
• Boobs will continue to change as milk regulates to the demand of baby.
• Your bdy will be healing for first 6 weeks. It is normal to bleed for a month
• Your ab muscles will move back into place

 

 

3-6 months postpartum

 

• Body should be done healing (in most cases)
• You can start back up with physical activity (ALL kinds of activity…)
• You will still need belly support util muscles are reformed 

 

 

6-9 months postpartum

 

• Your body is getting back to pre-pregnancy state (Thank goodness)
• You will start feeling like your old self again - go get ‘em tiger.
• You might be getting baby fever (Girl don’t do it!)

 

 

9-12 months

 

• Your skin is back to normal, if you didn’t have an above-average amount of weight gain happen during pregnancy (Age is a factor for this as well, ask your doctor if your curious!)
• Stretch marks are blending in and diminishing
• Breast have stabilized, if your still breastfeeding
